Not the place for asthmatics, but if you don't have that affliction, go for it.<BR/><BR/>If you're lucky the thurible has bells on it too.<BR/>They use more incense in two weeks than the average parish uses in a year.<BR/><BR/>Karengemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-52357706569226542312008-08-12T02:00:00.000+01:002008-08-12T02:00:00.000+01:00Karen:Going to an Eastern rite would be interestin...Karen:<BR/>Going to an Eastern rite would be interesting--and I love, love, love incense.<BR/><BR/>--TaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-54192313385566548752008-08-12T00:08:00.000+01:002008-08-12T00:08:00.000+01:00BTW, Tara, I did go to Fr.

I DID bag the far right hand seat in the front pew, and as this particular church's front pew was close to the altar, I got to see enough. Now if we could just take up a collection for a megaphone. :-D [seriously, I followed him fine until the "Te igitur" ... the beginning of the canon.] It was wonderful to hear all those saints names again. Next to the actual words of consecration, that was always my favorite part of Mass. It really gave a connectedness [is that a word] with the whole church triumphant.<BR/><BR/>BTW, if you ever have a chance to go to an eastern rite Mass, by all means do so. It will be mostly in English (other than the odd hymn here or there] slightly frustrating for me sometimes, just because of the ad orientem, but the priest faces you a bit more for a lot of things. Go early and bag a seat where you'll be able to see the most. Usually the front row, close to the center, if there's a wonking big iconostasis. Some have virtual walls, some more "modernized" still there but designed so your sight lines are a better. They use lots of incense which I love.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-86806851994118588232008-08-11T23:27:00.000+01:002008-08-11T23:27:00.000+01:00The new changes do not bother me, as long as they ...The new changes do not bother me, as long as they get it right this time! Like you, I'm glad of many changes--the readings being in English! Sheesh I want to "hear" the Word. <BR/><BR/>"as far as I'm concerned they can ditch the protestant "For thine is the kingdom" jazz." --Totally agree.

S. .... His 80th will be this October.]<BR/><BR/>I was glad I was able to find that card. I don't know whether I'm so much one for having a sense of being what will be "historical" even at that age (who knows I may have one of the few extant!) or perhaps it means that I'm just a pack rat! I expect a little of both.)<BR/><BR/>There's a few things I blanch at in there like the word "dewfall" that someone else had mentioned and there was something else that sounded klutzy "consubstantial" arrgh, but overall I like a lot of the tweaks. I suppose it's asking too much to deep six that "For thine is the kingdom" stuff.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-25492567725824908682008-08-11T07:30:00.000+01:002008-08-11T07:30:00.000+01:00Hi, Gem.I was very struck by how similar your 1964...Hi, Gem.<BR/>I was very struck by how similar your 1964 translation is to the one that we're going to get in 18 months or so. Obviously, as you imply, they are simply trying to reinvent the wheel. Our 1964 version was full of thees and thous (though not consistently), and there were several attempts to translate 'et cum spiritu tuo': 'And with you'; 'And with you too'.<BR/>I'm not really with you on the everything-out-loud question. When I'm assisting at Mass (rather than celebrating) I like long periods of silent prayer and find them helpful, rather than turning the Mass into a sort of lecture.Pastor in Montehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949810648656544072noreply@blogger.com
